List of films with alternate titles

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Practically every film has had an alternative title. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of content. BOVINEBOY 2008 21:45, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is a train wreck waiting to happen. Will never be even remotely complete. Blueboy96 21:49, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Soundsboy agrees with Blueboy. Endless unencyclopaedic list. Soundsboy (talk) 23:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Never being complete is not a criterion for a list of things which are inherently ongoing ; it is not indiscriminate, being limited to films with Wikipedia articles. Our coverage of films will never be complete either, nor any of the lists of films (except for those limited in time period). Should we delete all of them also?

 * Delete. The fact that this doesn't distinguish between foreign-language titles, subtitles, and actual alternate titles, and that it is not sourced, means that there is nothing to keep here, and the topic is not particularly encyclopedic.

 * Delete The fact that it will never be complete is less of a problem to me, the main issue I have is that it doesn't serve an encyclopedic purpose. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 08:06, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Verifiability does not automatically guarantee suitability for inclusion. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 14:27, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate collection of information. I think the criteria is too open-ended for a detail that will be frequently minor. I'm trying to think of how the criteria could be re-defined so we could list noteworthy alternate titles somehow. Any ideas? Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 17:20, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice for return. I agree with DGG's points that such lists of onging events never being "complete" is not a valid reason to delete. Precedent and practice allows many such "incomplete" lists, and does not care that they will never be complete. And just as are the films in this list, inclusion is based upon the sourcable notabilty allowing articles ON the items on the list. But in agreement with Erik, we need to have the article lede better define incluson criteria, to include as one of the discriminate requirements that the included films should have existing an article which sources the alternate names. As the list grows, it could have sections for film by year and language.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:09, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
